A businessman tries to balance right and wrong.
In today's ExchangeWire news digest: Epic Games makes antitrust complaint against Google complaint in New Delhi; the EU Parliament proposes new legislation around how banks interact with digital assets; and JD.com announces it will launch an in-house chatbot to rival ChatGPT.
Gaming behemoth Epic Games has alleged that Google is not wholly complying with an antitrust directive. The claim, brought against Google in New Delhi on Thursday (9th February), alleges that Google is continuing to omit Epic’s app store on the Google Play Store app.
Epic’s complaint is the latest legal headache for Google in India; just last month, the tech giant conceded to changing its Android business model after an unsuccessful legal battle with the Competition Commission of India.
A new law drafted by the European Parliament would have EU banks place the maximum risk on crypto assets. The proposed legislation, which was revealed on Friday (10th February), could determine how digital assets are integrated into the current financial sector, with banks being obligated to disclose their involvement with cryptocurrencies.
The European Parliament stated that law is intended to “adequately mitigate the risks" of digital assets on banks' financial stability. The body added, “this is even more urgent in light of the recent adverse developments in the crypto-assets market.”
One of China’s largest e-commerce firms, JD.com, has announced plans to launch an AI product similar to ChatGPT. The company’s proposed ChatJD would serve as an “industrial version” of the Microsoft-backed chatbot, generating content focused on the retail and financial sectors.
The move follows an influx of tech giants announcing plans for in-house AI chatbots following ChatGPT’s resounding popularity. Last week, Google, Baidu, and Neeva all announced their entry into the chatbot arms race, placing themselves in rivalry with Microsoft.
